If someone opens a PR to one of my repos with no context, I ban them.

There’s too much AI spam out there right now.

Publishing ‘@provenance-labs/lodash’ as a test, I suppose. Ok. Leaving it up? Looks like spam.

Badgering the author an a private email? Mmm. Definitely not.

This isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. There’s a contributing guide which clearly says; unless a feature gets community interest, it’s not happening. If you want a feature, talk about it rouse community interest.

Overall: maybe this wasn’t the right way to engage.

…it certainly looks, right now, like the lodash author wasn’t out of line with this, to me.
